Lost at sea, we will find our way we boast Our eyes try to pierce a path to the coast All around us no land is to be seen The wind howling about us cold and keen We counsel each other which way is best All our ideas fail when put to the test We turn to the stars shining overhead Hoping fervently by them to be lead We beseech the sun, star of stars, for aid But nothing from its fierce fire can be made Losing all hope we sink into despair Our souls and our hearts completely laid bare Into our misery descends a light Guiding us home by God's Mercy and Might |
